Remove empty constructors and suite() methods in MigrateJUnitTestCase#926
Conversation
After removing `super(testName)`, constructors left with an empty body are now fully removed. Static `suite()` methods returning `junit.framework.Test` or `TestSuite` are also removed along with their stale imports. Fixes moderneinc/customer-requests#1948
